To all whom z'tmay concern: 7

Be it known that I, Gsonen FRANQOIS JAU- nnn'r, have invented anew and useful Improvcment in' vthe Preparation of Salts and Acids (lontaining'EasilyeLibei-ated Active forth in the: following specifications It is known thatrwhen' an acid is caused to react upon certainip'eroxids, particularly the allralinerperoxidsiof-sodium, potassium, calcium,strontium, barium, etc, hydrogen peroxidisiformed' to ether 'withthe salt of" the acid employed. bivalent) or example (B being I have howeveriound :that vwhen,c'ert a' in. acids such asbonc -acrd, sulfur c acid, acet c ucts,..which beisolated in, a 90nd state, are not merely thehydrabes of peroxids, for they are stable at a temperature at which the hydrates would have long been decomposed. 1

I now present the following detailed ex-' amples of carrying out my invention. 248' grams of crystallized boric acid are mixed with 78 grams'oferoxid of sodium. The homogeneous pow er thus obtained is then added little by little to two liters of cold water while constantlstirring at a temperature which may e below 20 C. but which is not restricted thereto. The powder isentirely dissolved, but'after a short time the new substance commences to crystallize because it is only slightly soluble. The deposit is removed by filtration,washed with cold water, first dried in the air and then further dried in a heatin chamber at a temperature of about The substance thus obtained contains about 4% of active oxygen and appears to correspond to the formula s ep omo.

presents itself in the form of a crystallme powder, white as snow, and, upon dissolving the substance'in water, without the, addition of any acid a solution is obtained having all the properties of water charged with'free and active oxygen. By inspection! of the formula, it will be se n that it corresponds to ordinary horas:

.havin ,-(Na,B,O,) plus an extra atom of oxygen. 5 Upon solution in water this added oxygen lie gradually liberated with the formation iof ordinary borax. trained has airecly'alkaline reaction. Oxygen, which Improvement is fully set The solution'thus. ob

One may also" mix 10 "kgs. 935 gr. of con-- centrated sulfuric acid,- free from arsenic and iron, with 170 liters ofiwater' and then stand for some hours, and then the hbundant deposit ofthe new substance removed by .filt'ration.- It is then washed in,

cold water, pressed and dried in the air;

In this way isrobtainedQQ kgs- 500 gr, of a product containin'g 10% of active oxygenv and corresponding to the formula I p nanonamo. V This new substance sagas itself in white crystals extremely stable at] the ordinary temperature and also at 50 to 60? C., and

is not attacked by the carbonic acid of the air. From the formula, it isevident that this substance is the sodium-salt of a perboric acid. By simple dissolution in cold water, and without the addition of any acid, this new substance gives, also, a solution all the properties of water charged with e oxygen, and as the new substance may preserved indefinitely in a dry state, it constitutes a convenient reagent for the preparation of eroxid of hydrogexf.

Having thus lly described my invention, what I claim is 1. The recess of making a new compound which consists in subjecting one of those peroxids which in thepresence of a hydrogen-containing acid normally form hydrogen-peroxid and the salt of the acid, to the slow action of such an acid at a reduced temperature, and then isolating the solid peroxidized body so formed.- 7

2. The process of makinganew compound which consists in subjecting one. of those peroxids which in the presence of a hydrogencontaining acid normally form hydrogenperoxid and the salt of'the acid, to the slow' action of such an acid at a reduced temperature and in the presence of water, and then isolating the solid peroxidiz'ed body so' formed.

3. The process of making a newcom pound, which consists in subjecting one of those peroxids which in the presence of an acid normally form hydrogen peroxide and the salt of the acid, to the slow action of an acid at a reduced temperature, then isolating the solid peroxidized body so formed, washing said per-oxidized body and drying it.

at. The process of making a new compound which consists in slowly adding one of those peroxids which in the presence of an acid normally form hydrogen peroxid and the salt of the acid, and an acid, to cold water while stirring, then filtering it removing the solid peroxidized body and drying it first without artificial heat and then with artificial heat not exceeding 60 degrees C.

5. The process of making a new compound which consists in intimately mixing a dry peroxid with a solid acid, adding the mixture to water and isolating the new solid peroxidized compound formed.

6. The process of making a new compound which consists in mixing a dry peroxid with a solid acid, adding the mixture to water, allowing the solution to stand till crystalliration takes place,'and isolating the new solid peroxidized compound formed,

7. The new saline body containing a fixed base and consisting of a white crystalline powder containing actiie oxygen liberated readily by simple solution in water and corresponding to the formula 8. The process of making a new compound L zation takes place, and isolating the new solid peroxidized compound formed.

' 10. The herein described process of making sodium perborate, which consists in reacting upon boric acid in the presence of water, with sodium peroxid while maintaining the temperature below twenty degrees (20) centigrade, and thereafter separating the sodium perborate from thesolution and drying the same.

In testimony whereof I have signed this i,

specification in the presence of two subscrib' ing witnesses.
